Any weapon in your hand can be a force multiplier for sure! Especially if you are practiced not to hesitate to use it.

[@oneshoeless]

Absolutely carry a blade. Get training. Practice. I can't carry a firearm at work, but no one seems to pay attention to the fixed blade in my pocket.

Just a polite comment. Please no music while people are talking. It's very distracting..! Music is best used for B-Roll. Great video otherwise. 😄

[@Skallywagtactical]

Haha yeah. Agreed. We will have our videographer tone down the music. Sometimes the videos don’t do as well due to people needing more to entertain them during a conversation. 🤷‍♂️ Thank you for the comment!

Thank You for The Excellent Talk and Video.

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@OCCULTPREPPER78]

Most reliable self defense tool in my opinion

[@Skallywagtactical]

Thank you !

[@abc4781]

Yeah the most liable tool to ensure that you get locked up when you use it.

[@ryanranard5187]

@@abc4781 No different than using a gun. Both are considered deadly force. However, I rather have a gun anyday.

[@Skallywagtactical]

@@abc4781 When did everyone get so afraid of getting locked up if it means you are still walking and talking? just asking for a friend. Meaning, would you rather survive an attack on you or your loved ones, have a knife and defend yourself or die cause you dont want to risk going to jail. I dont think anyone here is advocating running around stabbing people for no reason.. right?

Hugh Glass ended this argument 200 years ago. Yes, a knife is extremely relevant. In the Marines, we call it the get off me knife

Any weapon is a distinct advantage. Your welcome.

I always carry a blade on my weak side in case they go for my side arm on the strong side ❗️

[@alexblue6991]

What the viewers opinion on boxcutters I'm from Scotland whare having a weapon is illegal it's only the criminals who don't care my age 72yr I worked as a joiner so I might have an excuse for having a boxcutter?

Better to be judged by twelve than carried out by six! Carry a knife 🗡️ mate!❤❤❤

This video has been released before, right?

[@Skallywagtactical]

Yes. It’s an old mindset video we released on Elite You. With all the weird comments we got from the uber gone bad video, I decided to throw some more mindset/conversation videos here to see how they did.

[@reneewood3171]

Makes a great accelerator

[@DJSmith67]

Not trying to be a dick. I’m all about propping my brothers up. Which is why I’m sharing that I believe you’re confusing the meanings of “efficient” and “effective.” Thanks for the great video.

[@Skallywagtactical]

Thank you for the comment but can you please elaborate. A knife is an efficient tool in a fight, or self defense. Especially when wielded by someone skilled. "achieving maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort" fits the definition of a knife being a force multiplier. It is an effective self defense tool when used properly. "successful in achieving a desired or intended result". When Jack uses the word efficiency, he means that the blade increases your ability to inflict damage quickly with minimal effort. It fits the definition of the word. It isnt an effective tool within the situations he is speaking of due to the fact that he's speaking as though the situation hasnt concluded yet. So it cant be stated as being effective until the person using the knife successfully defends themself. When MDv uses the word effective, he means the unskilled person using a blade to defend themselves to conclusion would not yield a desired result. So it wouldnt be an effective tool for self defense since there is a lack of skill necessary to successfully achieve the desired result. Again, it seems to fit the definition of the word. Is there another part where we misuse the word efficient/efficiency?

[@Skallywagtactical]

And we appreciate your support and respectful presentation of the correction. I am honestly curious where they misused the words you stated. I felt it was important to reply again because so many feel my responses are aggressive or me being a dick in response. Its not intended to be received that way. Thank you ahead of time for your reply.

I believe in this life u get what u give sooner or later do what I can in the end God will get his payback to the ones that do u wrong u mite not see it but it will b all the glory go to God my king and Jesus my bro

[@johnnywishbone932]

Knives are meant to kill in a inefficient way. You have to spill enough blood to stop the attack. Unless you develop concepts from Martial Blade Concepts. Slash motor controls and run for the hills.

[@scott7684]

just carry a pocket knife period

[@peterschmidt7409]

It's a self defense tool when shit hits the fan and you can't carry. I train here in europe with some instructors of Scott Babb's libre fighting system. I personally think, a blackjack would be the better tool in most situations, but that is not allowed where i live. A knife is.

[@gdixonfitness]

Yep Goliath got killed by a rock!

[@kylewood8327]

Can you carry a knife for self defense, sure. I don’t though. At least not a dedicated defense knife. I carry my pepper spray and Colt DS.

[@DonnieCornell-i4s]

U can make anything u see well just bout anything into a defence weapon but if u do it automately becomes a illegal weapon even if it's self defence if u r alone u best bet is have a good friend wiz u don't b alone a lone wolf is easy pray so don't b a loner bro find a good friend that will help u bury the body not really lol just a joke not a bad idea tho there I go again lol 😮

[@gdixonfitness]

Lol, yeah you don't need license to carry!
